Drug Safety
At the 2025 EULAR congress in Barcelona, Prof Dimitrios Boumpas presented a summary of the updated EULAR recommendations on the management of lupus nephritis (LN). The most significant change in the treatment paradigm of LN is that the historic standard of care (SOC) (i.e. mycophenolate with glucocorticoids, GC) is now known to be inferior to several licensed combinations, as well as other unlicensed combination therapies.
To address this, a French multi-centre prospective pregnancy observational cohort was set up, to analyse disease activity, treatment, pregnancy outcomes, delivery, and neonatal health. The work – presented at the 2025 annual congress of EULAR – showcased findings from 97 women with an autoinflammatory disease.

Secukinumab Use in Refractory Giant Cell Arteritis
In 2023, the phase 2 TitAIN study showed that the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in 52 patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) who had an inadequate response to tocilizumab. While we await the results of a larger https://t.co/HkMT9QEMg8

Sometimes you hear:
“PMR dose steroids don’t really matter”
Errrrr…
(You wouldn’t accept this steroid exposure in any other disease. Never)

Management of SLE:
-Treat early to prevent organ damage
-Taper GC to <5mg/d in the first 6m when feasible
-New therapies are promising but still unmet needs in LN, limited global access and lacking data in pregnancy.

-Difficult to treat RA is a heterogeneous concept
-Risk fx: younger onset, high disease activity,erosive disease, comorbidities, depression.
-Study in a Spanish cohort with D2T 2/2 inefficacy showed Rituximab, JAKis, and IL-6i had longer survival (hence better tx options).

#EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0041 FcRn-inhibition is showing consistency in #Sjogren. Last year it was Nipocalimab. This proof-of-concept study showed efgartigimod met its primary endpoint, the CRESS response. No difference in ESSPRI. Phase 3 UNITY is underway @RheumNow https://t.co/jw1i4FqkIh

@RheumNow When it comes to ORAL Surveillance and the 2025 EULAR recommendations, the same sensibility remains.
Appropriate caution based on the RCT, despite observational data, but we’ll see what is yet to come. Plenty to watch this space for
